A Ph.D. position is available through the Canadian Rivers Institute at the University of New Brunswick (UNB Fredericton) to study the impacts of multiple stressors on fluvial environments and aquatic communities in agricultural watersheds. Agricultural activities can cause excessive sedimentation, eutrophication and agro-chemical contamination of surface waters. However, the interactive effects of these stressors and the potential for cumulative impacts is poorly understood.
Research tools and techniques that are available include a stable isotope laboratory, experimental stream mesocosms, and stream monitoring infrastructure across a series of watersheds in the potato belt near Grand Falls, New Brunswick.
The Ph.D. project is a key component of strategic collaboration between Environment Canada, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the Canadian Rivers Institute. Primary funding is provided by AAFC’s Sustainable Agriculture Environmental Systems (SAGES) program. The student will be co-supervised by Dr. Joseph Culp (Joseph.Culp@ec.gc.ca) at UNB and Dr. Glenn Benoy (Glenn.Benoy@agr.gc.ca) at the Potato Research Centre.
Interested students should send a letter of interest to Drs. Culp and Benoy including a statement of research interests, curriculum vitae and contact information for three references.
Deadline for submissions is 15 December 2009; position to be filled by May 2010.
